Work at Camp Limmud NY!
Working at Camp Limmud NY
requires a committment to attend the entire conference (Thursday night
through Monday night) and availability for meetings and trainings on
weekday evenings in New York City this fall (at least twice).
We
need a dynamic team of madrichim (counselors) led by one rosh (head counselor) to provide our youngest
Limmudnyks with a Camp Limmud NY experience they will never forget. For details and deadlines, or to apply, please click on the links below: Madrich (Counselor) Application 2009

BabysittingDaytime babysitting is included in the registration fees for children under 2 years of age. To arrange for a babysitter in the evening after camp and childcare close, please put a note on the Family message board for a teenage conference participant to watch your children. Any babysitting needs after childcare closes will need to be arranged at your own cost, with the exception of Saturday night shmira-style babysitting – with volunteers “keeping watch” in the hallway while children sleep peacefully in their rooms from 7:00-10:00pm.
Camp Limmud NY 
Camp Limmud NY offers creative programming in a safe environment for children ages 2 years to fifth grade and their families in parallel to the regular Limmud NY sessions. Camp Limmud NY is organized by a core team of madrichim/counselors who plan a variety of activities including arts, music, dance, sports, Jewish learning, and more. The counselors are supervised by one rosh, or head counselor. Camp Limmud NY also includes special sessions with top Jewish educators
and artists who tailor their material to the relevant ages in addition
to offering family sessions.
